West Ham are looking for ways to cut expenses and they decided that freezing Mido would save them his bonuses.

The Egyptian international's salary is £1000 a week but he gets extra money when selected or scoring goals.

A close source to the player told FilGoal.com that Mido's bonuses are seen in West Ham as wasted money, especially after securing their place in the Premier League.

They are six points above the relegation zone, with two games remaining.

Mido, who didn't score for West Ham, joined from Zamalek on loan till the end of the season.

He is under contract with Middlesbrough, but he announced he won't return to his side, now playing in the Championship.

Mido could return to Zamalek or move to Turkey, Holland or France, according to reports.
